A combination of horror films, namely Bird Box, A Quiet Place and Hush, has inspired a hilarious new meme.
The key theme of the three films is sensory deprivation; Hush has a deaf protagonist, while A Quiet Place and Bird Box both see characters escaping from monsters that either mustn’t hear you, or mustn’t be looked at… these themes got people thinking about other potential horror films along this vein.
The new meme ideas contain a hefty amount of pop-culture references, from SpongeBob SquarePants to Netflix’s Queer Eye.
Here are nine of the best memes, that might just inspire a young filmmaker to create a horror movie spin-off.
